The origin of a dream by the Atlantic:The story of the Hotel Folias San Agustín is, in essence, the story of the birth of tourism in the south of Gran Canaria. Opened in the 1960s, our establishment has the honor of being the first hotel built in southern Gran Canaria, marking the beginning of an era of hospitality and openness to the world in this corner of the Canary archipelago.
A tourism icon in St. Augustine since 1965: In an era when the dunes and southern coasts were a pristine landscape waiting to be discovered, the Hotel Folias San Agustín stood as a beacon welcoming the first European travelers. Its original architecture and strategic location facing San Agustín Beach defined the standard for what we know today as the Maspalomas Costa Canaria tourist destination, one of the most important and renowned destinations worldwide.
Over the decades, the hotel has witnessed the island's evolution, always maintaining its essence: a warm, personal, and authentic service. Being pioneers in San Agustín has allowed us to grow alongside our community, protecting the environment and adapting to changing times without losing our Canarian roots.
✓ Art and Legacy: The story of the Hotel Folias San Agustín continues to be written. We have evolved, transforming our facilities into a fresh and modern space, while preserving the soul of the first hotel that opened its doors more than half a century ago.
✓ Historical Milestone (1963-1965): Construction began in 1963, marking the first step in tourism in the south, and was officially opened on December 16, 1965.
✓ Artistic Heritage: For the enjoyment of our guests, the hotel houses two works by world-renowned Canarian artists: a sculpture by César Manrique from Lanzarote and the wall sculpture "Cosmos" by our beloved Pepe Dámaso, located in the hall, the most striking.
✓ Evolution and Comfort: We carry out constant renovations to offer maximum comfort to current and future guests.
